Elemental abilities can be disabled by attacking Gilgamesh with that same element.

Abilities will be disabled for that turn only. You have to repeat every turn.

Before 80% threshold, Gilgamesh can only use one elemental attack, Excalipher. You may skip disabling Excalipher before 80% threshold as it's not threatening.

Start disabling his abilities after 80% threshold.

Gilgamesh will gain a lightning ability after 50% threshold, and it can only be disabled with magic or hybrid damage. You can purchase Thunder Blade from Magi Nation Mysidia to deal hybrid damage.

You can also combine a lightning weapon with any hybrid ability to disable his lightning (Note: Hybrid damage and physical elemental damage are different).

Osmose Blade is considered hybrid damage, and it has the added benefit of helping to reduce item consumption or complete the no item mission.

An ally can disable more than 1 element by using different elemental ability and weapons. If you're missing weapons or lack innate abilities remember that Espers can have them as well. Otherwise bring crafted abilities (e.g. Stone Blade, Water Blade).

Using Setzer's moves double dice/dice and getting 77,777 damage is the only way to accomplish this. The 77,777 damage will be multiplied by either 2.2 (Double Man-Eater strat), or 2.25 (Single Man-Eater) normally. However with the addition of the two chainers who have the same elemental weapon the multiple is increased to around 2* and then 4* damage. Use the two chainers and then use Setzer's double dice/dice as they chain (don't waste time the move is quick) to hit in the chain twice.

All of Gilgamesh's attacks, except for Excalipher and Excalibur, can be evaded. However, secondary effects like Death or Paralyze can be applied even if the attack misses. Still, with the right gear, a single unit can be used to defeat Gilgamesh with auto attacks.

Unit Requirements:

100% Evade

Evades the damage from Gilgamesh's attacks, except for his Light element attacks.

Weapon w/ Light Element

Seals the Light element, preventing Gilgamesh from using Excalipher and Excalibur.

Neither of these attacks can be evaded. Excalibur also inflicts Confusion.
